O'BRIEN'S INVASION.
Ne Is Mobbed at Toronto-Strone Feeling in fa-
vor Of annerion to the United States

TORONTO, ONT, May ls.-The banquet
given to Mr. O'Brien last night was most
largely attended and representative, ac-
cording to Chairman Mulligan, seen
in this city for years. Not only was the
toast of the Queen" not drank. but
every mention of the name of Lord
Lansdowne, her official representative.
called forth Kisses. There was no sign
of the British flag. although the Union
Jack fioated over the platforms at the
Queens Park meeting, having remained
there probably unnoticed by any of the
members of the committee since the
Orange meeting of few days previous.
This Inclusion of Irish agitation seems
to have changed the whole face of Cana
dian politics, and il is thought will have
an important bearing on the future of
parties and policies in the Dominion.
The extreme sensitiveness shown at the
outside criticism of any sort, whether of
Canadian institutions generally or of
Lord Lansdowne's landlordism particu-
lariy. where the critic happened not
to be a resident in the country,
has given way and now men
have taken sides and in the hotels. on
the streets and in the newspaper offices
comparisons are being made and the bat
tie is being warmly fought over the
relative advantages of being American
citizens or Canadian subjects of Her
Majesty. Catholics who spoke regret
fully in regard to the Fenian invasion of
twenty years ago do not speak so now
and Orangemen who talked in a deter
mined manner about Mr.. O'Brien's .'in-
vasion" say that if he attempted to speak
here again he would probably pay the
penalty with his life.
The Orangemen seem to feel that they
have committed blunder. not in hav-
ing attacked the speakers and disturbed
the meeting, but in not having done so
half well enough. They now express
disappointment because they allowed the
meeting to take place at all.
Mr.. O'Brien has added Hamilton to
his list where the riotous demonstra-
tions are certain to occur. He will speak
there Monday, May 23. in Ottawa to-
morrow and in Kingston.
OBRIEN MOBBED.
While walking on the streets with a
party of friends, tonight, Mr.. O'Brien
was fiercely attacked by gang of the
Orangemen- Volleys of stones, broken
bottles and other missiles were hurled at
the party and j. VI. Wall was struck in
the head and knocked senseless. OBrien
finally took refuge in a bicycle store
which was then savagely attacked by
the rioters. O'Brien, however, escaped
and reached his hotel in safety.

Sam jones Answers Questions.
Kansas Citv Times.

A gentleman who recently met Sam
Jones on a railway train repeats part Of
the conversation, as follows:
Said /: adam and Eve were the first
two people on earth. According to the
Bible they had two sons-Cain and Abel.
Cain slew Abel and then flew into the
land of Nod and took unto himself a
wife. Adam and Eve first, Cain and
Abel next. Cain fled. We understand
from fled that he ran and got away
from his awful crime as quickly as his

for that's mighty easy question. He
smiled again, and said: .Why, Cain got
his wife from his father-in-law."

.'Wek," he said. thar was a man

Timothy Healy moved that before any
person could be prosecuted under the
provisions Of the clause the fiat of the
Attorney General upon sworn informa-
ton must first be obtained.
Mr.. Holmes. Attorney General for Ire
land, declared that the adoption of such
an amendment would render the clause
incapable of being carried out. The
amendment was lost, 2l9 TO 145.
The Rt. Hon. George Shaw LeFebre,
Liberal, moved the omission of the sub
section making punishable by summary
jurisdiction an act of conspiring 10 i'm
duce any one not To fulfill legal obliga-
tions, or not to Use or occupy land, or
not to deal with or work for anyone, or
to induce anyone to interfere with the
administration of the laws. This, he
contended, was the section which WAS
meant to be used i'm the interest of Irish
landlords i'm the collection of rents
by the criminal law before an in
ferior tribunal. No previous coercion
act contained anything analogous
to this subsection. 1t exposed the ten
ants to summary conviction by resident
magistrates interested in preventing
combination against rack rents. 1t de-
prived the tenants of the ordinary pro-
lection accorded English laborers and
workmen, against unfairness on the
part of employers. [Cheers.
MIR. Holmes contended that the sec
ton applied only to criminal combina-
ton. Debate was proceeding when Mr..
w. III. Smith moved the cloture. This
was carried by a vote Of 23O to 143.
Mr.. Shaw and lie Febre's motion
was rejected by a vote of 223 TO 143.
The House then adjourned.
